So when do you make this Egg Drop Curry?
Scenario 1: There is not a single vegetable in the house!
Scenario 2: There is not a single vegetable that you or your family wants to eat, in the house!
Scenario 3: You are too tired to cook!
Scenario 4: You don’t know what to cook!
Scenario 5: You ask everyone what they want to eat, and you get “anything…”!
Have you ever been in any of the above scenarios? Well, so have we all! This is exactly when this recipe comes to the rescue, and you take out the eggs and whip up that amazing dish and it’s quick to make and satisfies everyone’s “anything” desires! And if you are a vegetarian, don’t like eggs, substitute the eggs with Paneer, Tofu, Soy Nuggets, Vegetables…or any other protein of your choice. We love the ease and convenience of this Egg Drop Curry but it’s not just that, it takes care of the flavor department as well.
Enjoy this scrumptious Egg Drop Curry and kick back and enjoy life as well.

Nice Information !
Amazing website and Delicious recipes
Don’t worry about Pinuninterest,
They’re crap anyway.
Thanks for another wonderful recipe, which I’ll try soon.
Peace
HI ,
will the eggs be runny or have a hard boiled consistency ?
thanks
Hi Anuradha,
It depends on your preference ?.
For our family, I have made it for breakfast and made it a bit runny and when we make it for lunch or dinner, I tend to cook it fully.
Happy Cooking!
Can I use powdered fenugreek because we don’t get the dried leaves?
Hi Cheryl,
Absolutely! Be careful not to add too much as it may make the curry bitter – probably not more than a pinch. The Fenugreek Powder is made from seeds which are far more strong/intense/bitter than the leaves.
Happy Cooking!
This is how I have been making Shakshouka, AKA eggs in hell for over 4 decades.
